| Course Section Number: | ECO-277-03 |
| Department: | Economics |
| Description: | The material well-being is central to many aspects of human existence. We frequently gauge it with measures of our living standard. However, in this course, we will ask what are the origins of this material well-being? How is it possible that it is higher in some countries and lower in some other ones? Why does the US have lover income per person then, say, Ireland? Will China overtake the US in income per person? Along with basic models of economic growth, we will consider possible policies that could help stimulate growth and assure better living standard for future generation. It turns out that improving our living standards is the central economic questions that affects even health of the population and ultimately happiness of individuals. |
